PUTIN IRONS.
Unruly Disposition shown by Workhouse
Prisoners.

Prisoners.
For the past two or three days some of
the prisoners confined at the City Prison
have showed decided symptoms OF a dispO-
sition to mutiny, and yesterday several Of
them were put in irons by the guards and
police as a measure calculated to enforce
discipline and prevent escapes. The
trouble began last Sunday evening, be-
tween I and 8 o'clock, when the guards on
duty noticed something was wrong among
the prisoners. A tour of the building on
the outside revealed the fact that at
one point some Que was endeavoIing TO
make an opening through the wall OF the
structure, and the guards at once went III
side. and imade an examination. Under
an old bunk they found that the boards o.
the floor had been cut away, making an
opening large enough to admit a mans
body, and looking down, the light of alan
tern revealed the form of a man beneath
the flooring hard at work. He was asked
to come out, but fatty refused, and only
made his appearance when the muzzle of a
revolver was pointed toward him. Inc
man proved to be John Cook, and he and
Frank Gallagher, who seemed to be the
r~ingleaders, were locked up IN
a cell with ball and
chain to their ankles. Monday morning,
when the men were ordered out to go to
work, the two above named and two others,
Robert Thomas and John Pickering, fatty
refused to 90, and all four were put in the
cells. Yesterday morning, Superintendent
Grogan found the men had broken open the
little wicket in the cell door and were en-
deavoring to get at the lock. He tele-
phoned to the City Hall, and Officer Dun
lap went mp with an assortment OF hand
cuffs. The four men, with a fifth named
Jasper, were irOned and three of them put
in one cell and two in another. Last night
the prisoners were reasonably quiet, ana
the trouble seems TO be ut an end.
The hole in the flooring was cut with an
iron barrel hoop nOtched into q rude saw,
and had it not been discovered as promptly
as it was, it is probable all the prisoners
would have escaped during Sunday night.

FINE AFFAIR.
The Big Masquerade Ball Given by the
AriOn, Last Evening.

The Big Masquerade a Given by the
AriOn, Last Evening.
Last evening was a gala occasion with
the Arion folks, it being the night on
| which their annual masquerade ball was
given. The club house at the corner OF
Main and Twentieth streets was brilliantly
lighted from top TO bottom and as early as
o'clock carriages began arriving at the
front door and depositing their burdens of
fancifully attired and masked maldenS and
their escorts, while others came on foot.
The ballroom sOOn presented an animated
scene, rs the cOmically attired guests
moved about and attempted to discover
the identity OF each other.
There were all sorts of masks present,
from TOpsy up TO the Prince Carnival and
down again. There was the courtler, the
soldier, the dude, the devil, the duchess
and the deacon, the clown, the horse
woman, the Jockey, the win girl, the
Egyptian fortune teller, the ten thousand
dollar beauty, Yum Yum, MikadO, kO-ko,
and, in fact, all kinds of people lmagina-
BILE, including IN old organ grinder and
his wife, and last but by no means least
were the two Johns. The characters and
their i~mpersOnatiOn were immense, as well
as their bodies. They made the hit
OF the evening and any number of mashcs.
A large crowd of spectators were present
who enjoyed the gay scene highly. At
o'clock the grand march took place led by
the Prince Carnival, after which dancing
followed, Kramer's full orchestra furnish
ing the music. About 10 o'clock B0liver,
the trained elephant was introduced and
furnished fun ter the spectators for some
little time, after which dancing was re-
sumed. At IL o'clock masks were
ordered off and the scene was Ii
of wild confusion rs many attempt
ed to leave before unmasking, but
were not allowed to do so. After all had
been unmasked, and IL knew you all the
time had been said n thousand times,
dancing became the general order until II
o'clock, when IN excellent supper was
served in the clubs elegant dining salon.
The affair was one of the most elaborate
and enjoyable ever given by the Arion,
and it continued until an early hour this
morning, when all reluctantly retired from
the scene, well pleased with the amuSe-
ment afforded and the success of the event.

BACK AGAIN.
Walter Gay Returns to Steubenville Yes
tPr1ay.

Walter Gay Returns to SteubenvilIe Yes
terday.
Walter Gay returned to Steubenville
yesterday morning, and was somewhat
dazed when he read in the papers the in
formation furnished them by Mrs. HOlli-
day, regarding the sudden disappearance
of the beneficiary of her trust. The woman
seems TO have Jumped to conclusions too
suddenly. Last evenings Steubenville
Gazette said:
"As his departure from Steubenville on
Sunday evening was a matter OF great sur
prise to Steubenville friends, Walter Gays
return to the city to-day was an equal sur
prise. To use his own words, he was
knocked cold" by the statements pub
liShed yesterday, As he departed on little
private business in the East and expected
to be back last night. Mrs. Holiday was
decidedly premature in her statements as
to his dccamping with the money, and
there is no truth in the matter whatever.
He regrets the publicity given to the mat
ter exceedingly and is deeply mortified
that an absence Of only a day should have
given rise TO so many rumOrs. He can be
found at the Windsor Just rs usual rs soon
as the matter in regard to the attachment
can be Strengthened out. We are glad to
make this statement for Mr.. Gay and re-
gret that the indiSCretiOn of Mrs. Holiday
gave such publicity to a private affair"
The following vas received at this office
yesterday:
To ne Editor Of The Register:
SIR: Please state that the announce
ment in the Steubenville papers OF yester-
day, aud copied into the Wheeling papers
of to-day, that Walter Gay had run of, is
wrong. ] assure you he is at his home to-
day and will run his elegant saloon as
usual. 4. SEUHAUsEN,

THE FIRST WARD SCHOOL.
The Report of MIR. PEBBLES Received and
Thought to BE u~nfayurable.

The Report of Mr.. Feeble Received and
Thought to BE u~nfavorable.
The people Of the city, and of the First
ward especially, have been looking n X
iously for the result OF the examination of
the school building by Mr.. PEBBLES, the
Pittsburg architect, who came here last
building. 1t was generally conceded that
the Committee on Buildings and Grounds
of the Board of Education, into whose
hands the matter was placed, would abide
by and take action according to his de-
cisiOn. So when the principal,
Miss Harper, received notice yesterday
morning to dismiss the school, it was gen
orally believed that the report of Mr..
PEBBLES had been received and that it was
of an unfavOTable nature. Out of some
$50 pupils only 1870 were present yester-
day, and the number was becoming smaller
each day. The fact is plain that the
school has been almost completely de-
strOyed by the undue agitation of the
matter, and scholars who were getting
along nicely are entirely thrown off the
track.
Not a word either way could be obtained
from any of the members of the Board and
it is presumed from the action taken that
the report il not OF q favorable nature.
The report will be submitted to the con-
sideratiOn of the Board at its next regular
meeting Thursday evening. If the build
ing is prounced unsafe by the architect
that settles it and the school will either
have to be entirely closed until a new
building can be erected or some other
place provided, and it is hoped the latter
course will be taken, as no doubt it will.
